Extracellular Vesicles and Particles (EVP) as Biomarkers of Recurrence in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to find out if fluid rinsed from peoples' airways (bronchial washing samples) during routine surgery to remove (resect) their non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumors contains enough vesicles to do testing that may help the researchers learn more about their NSCLC.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- to isolate exosomes from bronchial washings [day 1]
every patient from whom the essential specimens have been acquired will be evaluated to determine if more than 100,000 microvesicles can be isolated for exosome purification
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
All patients ≥ 18 years of age undergoing consideration of surgical resection, including lobar resections, sublobar resections, and pneumonectomies, for primary lung cancer will be eligible.
-
Patients with previously resected disease and/or previous radiation therapy will be considered on a case by case basis.
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Patients with active infection or pneumonia which may impact exosome makeup
-
Additionally, if at the discretion of the operating surgeon, obtaining bronchial washings would lead to undue morbidity, the patient would be excluded and replaced
